Variations on a theme

Sophie - July 1, 2009

If I could've picked a theme song when I was 20, it probably would've been something by Amy Grant. I wore out my cassette of "The Collection" driving back and forth to college, and since I fancied myself a very deep and thinky English major, I loved analyzing her lyrics as I sang.

Nothing like some late teens / early 20s angst to give "Faithless Heart" a whole new level of meaning, you know?

And if I could've picked a theme song when I was 30, it probably would've been something from Nichole Nordeman's "This Mystery" CD (can I get an "amen"?). God was so gracious to do a whole lot of work in my heart between 27 and 30, and those songs are the soundtrack for that time. I still can't listen to "Home" without getting all teary-eyed.

So in the the interest of getting ahead of the game, I have made a decision. Even though I'm not 40 yet, I've already determined what the new theme song is going to be. Christy Nockels sings it, and oh, it is a good 'un.

Raise your hand if you want to stand up and clap when she sings the chorus.

It's a mighty good word for any stage of life, isn't it?

Thanks for sharing that song and video with me/us. I’ve been looking for some new music that will help me get through my “funk” and this one fits the bill! I just went to Itunes and bought it…even before listening to the whole song!! Love your music choices! They always speak to me!
